Why Dogs Don't Live As Long

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane were all very attached to Bilker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Bilker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family there were no miracles left for Bilker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Bilker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him.
What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "Everybody is born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

To K-9 Loki and Handler; God Bless the both of you and always remember the good times with Loki!

So troubled by this story! Such a beautiful and smart dog! My warmest wishes go to his handler. I was a passenger also hit by a DD but survived with low back injuries. Can that driver also be charged with dogicide?

I first met Loki going through training with him and his handler at FMK9. Loki was such a great dog, but he wasn’t just a dog. This is a true shot to the heart losing him at such an early age. This was a senseless death that absolutely could have been avoided! My thoughts and prayers go out to Rob, his family, the Boone County Sheriffs Department, and the entire LEO family!
